If you are going to report the news get your facts straight! We have over 1000 people missing in Buncombe County alone and many more than 40 dead. Towns were completely wiped out, completely erased like Chimney Rock. Areas other than Asheville have been hit harder than Asheville.
I was wondering...I remembered that there was 1 route that moved most of the trucking from East to West. Couldn't recall which one. And there is an East and Gulf Coast Port strike planned for Oct. So, they already plan to "cripple our country" until they get what they want. Yeah, that was the stated plan. Get prepared.
I'm praying for these families They've worked hard all their lives just to watch the flood wash away everything they have. Don't count on insurance companies to pay anything, they're all thieves.
This is nuts for real. And the fact theres 2 other storms prijected for next week let alone normal west to east storms. This storm was truly impressive
Regardless of where you live, you should have the ability to make a Rocket Stove either out of #10 cans or bricks. You need shelf stable foods put back for at a minimum of 3 months. You need water or at a minimum a way to sterilize water. You need a first aid kit. A handcrank flashlight, a handcrank emergency radio, manual can opener, màtches/lighters, gas can with fuel, a physical map, candles or lanterns, copies of personal documents in a waterproof container, duct tape, roll of construction plastic and large tarps, nylon rope. This is at a minimum.
Just received internet back. Blown away by some of the footage. As bad as the flooding is, the number of trees and power lines down is equally devastating & dangerous. Grateful for all the emergency crews in action.
Not to mention South Georgia is totally wiped out like a war zone. Very little electricity and they don't expect it for weeks. This is huge this is hundreds of billions of dollars
Have they posted publicly who lost their lives. I have friends and family there. I grew up in Asheville North Carolina, and have never seen anything like this happen before. Prayer's going up for everyone there. Absolutely unbelievable 😭
THE TEARS OF LIFE & MORE -2024?? Helene hit like an atom bomb Consuming the helpless in its path. The waters of the deep surged forth Flooding everything with their wrath. The storms of life come to everyone There are none who are immune. Some approach in our later years While others come too soon. Conviction is our emotional union As we weather the storms of Earth. Thank God for His amazing grace Which helps us reveal our worth. Tears are a love-mates humble gift When it's time to say goodbye Though the eyes are wet and swollen With time and patience they dry.

Don't know if I can get any help from you. I live in Michigan and my friend's son and his family live in Asheville. His name is Matt Crocker and is a massage therapist at a resort there. He's lived there at least 15 years. His mother is desperately trying to find out if they are safe.

How are these people charging their phones without electricity??! Power packs only last so long. And it’s unbelievable that none of these people bought a hot spot, or stocked up on food, water, ect. before the hurricane hit!
My mom and step-dad are using their cars to charge the one cell phone they had that can only send texts. They are using the water from the rain barrel for bathing and flushing, they had water delivered recently, and she had just done some canning. Wood stove for heating the water and staying warm. We just heard from them for the first time since Friday at 2:00 p.m..
According to the Buncombe County Zoom call at 1600 today there are approximately 600 people unaccounted for in the county, and 30 confirmed dead. This from the Sheriff of Buncombe County. Buncombe County encompasses Asheville, Weaverville, Black Mountain, Swannanoa etc.
@@abercrombieuser12345 According to my Catawba County/Hickory Kin, lost power, internet, and cellphone. But not property damage that’s visible. Hope your friend is fine
These women and everyone else knew that a hurricane was coming. She should have already had all of her food before the storm hit. If I were them, I would have left, if possible!
Biden has alreadiy declared areas to be Federal Disaster areas. But the state governors are the ones who activate the state's National Guard... Did people take the disaster prep classes offered by the Red Cross this summer??
What? President Biden just okay like billions and billions of dollars of aid to Western North Carolina and a billion dollars to florida. I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I thought it was so shady that they reported looting & then showed two women walking out the front of a store. Not actually showing footage of actual looting, just a suggestion with commentary. Bound to be inflamed for racist rhetoric for those that want to make it racist. I thought it was such irresponsible journalism.
Several hundred homeless camp along the rivers around Asheville I know as I was one in that number because of disinformation on background checks misleading society about my character. I hope all are well at A HOPE of Asheville. I'm alive because I chose to get out of the Candy Store... C B Moore

Another vanishing 😢
Thanks for WRALs coverage of Hurricane Helene and recovery efforts
🤗
This is why I don't talk about homeless people,you never know what can happen in an instance.
Yeah. Everybodys feeling what I've been feeling for 15 years
Looting??? Nope, surviving the elements... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
#Wisconsin💌 #NorthCarolina
I concur
The Strand. My mind went Stephen King. Survivors are desperately creative. 🙏
This will have a huge national economic impact as I-40 is a MAJOR east-west route for trucks.
I was wondering...I remembered that there was 1 route that moved most of the trucking from East to West. Couldn't recall which one.
And there is an East and Gulf Coast Port strike planned for Oct. So, they already plan to "cripple our country" until they get what they want. Yeah, that was the stated plan.
Get prepared.
And the ports are closed. Longshoremen on strike. Shortages coming.
...prayers for their quick recovery...please stay safe, ❤ y'all...
This is so sad Praying for all people dealing with this🙏
To the cookie lady, yes God was not only there, but through you he still is.

Then you should pray the insurance companies will pay, problem solved.
@@snoopcow many do not have flood insurance.
God please be with these families, & people!!! 🤲 🤲 🤲 for everyone affected from this natural disaster!!!
OMG...Seriously Tragic...😣
Heard this storm was directed there to devastate area for profitable lithium mines for your EVs.
Alot of these areas arent gonna recover sadly.
All by design.
Whatever happened to The National Guard ???
All at the Border and under staffed nobody want to serve their country 😊
Where does all that water drain to, how long for it to recede?
I concerned about people that live North of Marion NC. Green Mountain area and Baskerville.
Not good
Don't forget McDowell, it's nuts here too!

Gideon Rescue Co is among the rescuers in NC trying to help. :)
SO HOW did they cope with the flooding they say occurred 100 years ago ? The Civil War? 1865 must have been terrible ?
Far fewer people, none worried about power and cell service. No dams, either. I bet it was horrible then, too. 😢
All the best too everyone in NC .God bless everyone all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
if the longshoremen strike tuesday this town may never recover

can you call the mayor's office of that town? they must have an emergency number to call praying to Jesus for Matt to be found safe🙏
Many places in Midwestern states still need rebuilt and infrastructure also. Hope future is well planned and better functional systems.
Good luck NC

Water supplies?? And food ??
why were they not prepared?
@@wqv5423ln they didn't think Helene was going to touch them that far inland. They were wrong. And the Gulf is churning up 3 more storms as we speak.
@@rebelfighter5249 They could have seen that it was coming their way on the news for days
There are two more Potential Hurricanes headed that way and they are talking about recovery : (
Some of these areas will be years till restored. With so many roads and bridges basically deleted recovery will be slow especially at first.
How is the golf course?
the New York post says 1000 unaccounted for, which is it
According to the Buncombe County Zoom call at 1600 today there are approximately 600 people unaccounted for in the county, and 30 confirmed dead. This from the Sheriff of Buncombe County. Buncombe County encompasses Asheville, Weaverville, Black Mountain, Swannanoa etc.
Most evacuated more than likely, will take time to account for everyone.
Some are isolated in remote parts of the mountains. Probably OK, but can't get out or communicate.
Wow😮
How is Hickory?
@@abercrombieuser12345 According to my Catawba County/Hickory Kin, lost power, internet, and cellphone. But not property damage that’s visible. Hope your friend is fine
Hickory is fine compared to 30/45 minutes west. There’s a stark difference, they were right on the edge of the storm.
She shared video on her phone, so there must be internet there.
How did Hickory fare?
I’m trying to find that out too. Praying for NC family!
@@lynnerhea302 They did okay, just alot of people with no power and some flooding.
I live 15 mins from Hickory, considering looks like we are doing good. Just loss of power mainly…
@@zackhartley4718 that power, internet, cellphone lack hurts
These women and everyone else knew that a hurricane was coming. She should have already had all of her food before the storm hit. If I were them, I would have left, if possible!
Are they wyte?
So why did people not prepare and stock up with food and water?
Because nobody ever thought about the rain
@@abelflores1593 hello? It's a hurricane!!
Flash flooding, mudslides..all unexpected, no warning.
@@iownadodge7081 The warnings said it was a catastrophic hurricane. #4
When?
Will the government realize that we will never be able to take care of our own with natural disasters happening?One after the other..?
Where is the National Guard? Fema?
Biden has alreadiy declared areas to be Federal Disaster areas. But the state governors are the ones who activate the state's National Guard... Did people take the disaster prep classes offered by the Red Cross this summer??
The carolinas dont exist anymore. All people care about are big-name states like Texas and California and New Jersey.
What? President Biden just okay like billions and billions of dollars of aid to Western North Carolina and a billion dollars to florida. I'm not sure what you're talking about.
All explained at around the 9:00 mark.

Do you have storage facilities?

Why don't they get supplies from the store, it's not looting, it's not waiting around for help to bring food and water.
Stores in disaster zones have limited supplies, cash only, long lines IF even open…
